Let's Start off by thinking about some of your own traditions...
In Class Discussion Questions:
-What do you think tradition means?
-What are some foods that you eat at home? Do they have any traditions behind them?
-How does your family give thanks?
-What are dishes that you and your family traditionally eat on Thanksgiving?
-Do you have a special tradition that your family does every year?
ex: Breaking wish bone before thanksgiving dinner.
-Why do you think it is an American tradition to eat turkey on Thanksgiving?
-Why is Thanksgiving an important holiday to the the United States?
HOMEWORK: Think about your favorite foods and think about where they might have come from. Right one paragraph and bring it into class tomorrow.
